Rob Van Dam has amazed audiences around the world with his athleticism and martial arts skills. Throughout his wrestling career, Rob Van Dam rarely hesitated to voice his affection for cannabis — even coining the popular catch-phrase, “4:20 means I just smoked your ass.” In 2006 he reached the pinnacle of his profession, winning the WWE world heavyweight championship.

He was eventually stripped of the title later that year following his arrest for minor marijuana possession. Since leaving pro wrestling he has appeared in numerous television shows and action films, as well as hosting his own online series RVD TV. Rob Van Dam is open about his marijuana use and the need to reform America’s cannabis laws, frequently discussing the issue on his live radio show.

“Our federal government prohibited this organic plant based on lies, continues to classify it among the most dangerous drugs to validate billions in funding pointless agendas, and denies it’s medical value, causing countless lives to suffer needlessly,” he says. “How can anyone not care?”

Rob will be participating an all-star panel discussion at this year’s conference pertaining to the use of cannabis among top athletes. Says Rob: “How about we stop ignoring the fact that World Champion athletes who take their health extremely seriously sometimes choose to use marijuana? Why are we ignoring the message there?”

RVD says, “Yes we cannabis” and so should you! Meet Rob and hundreds of other like-minded people at NORML’s 38th annual conference, taking place September 24-26 at the Grand Hyatt in downtown San Francisco. For registration information, please visit: http://www.norml.org/conference.

I am 60 retired a volunteer during Vietnam and a big supporter of our leader.

I just watched another video on the internet it projected if the war on us continues. Fifty percent of the black race in our great country will either be in jail probation or in process to go to jail.

How can our leader sleep at night knowing the suffering going on in our country over racism. Being white I thought racism was over but believe me it is alive and well. I found that out while working for our leader during the election in Georgia. I had old eighty year old people cuss me for wearing an Obama T shirt.

These are the same people that started the war on us (drugs). I do not have the time or space to reveal all of the facts I have uncovered in the past several years about this war. All I can say is it is wrong and ever truth I can find shouts out this fact.

It appears our leader has no power I voted and worked to get him elected in hopes he would end the racist war and help our county. But the drug war army doesn’t even seem to listen to him. They are still raiding medical providers in California. And jailing old people for trying to help others this is outrageous.

My question is why are we destroying ourselves and enslaving our people? Take the money wasted on the war on us and help the few that need it. And quit ruining the lives of the rest of us! All for corporate greed.

Also look deep at blackwater I feel they are working to keep us in war. It is their business and thanks to your 29% increase they are becoming stronger. Their leader is a right wing extremist that feels all non-Christians should die. There should not be profit in putting people in jail or waging war. We have both in our country and it will bring us down if left to prosper.

What? he loses his title for possession of weed? Pro-Lifers are killing off abortion doctors and then are able to claim justifiable homicide and churches are allowing sexually active homosexuals to not only be in the church but also to serve as high officials and states are allowing homosexuals to marry but people are still going to jail and losing jobs for weed? WTF? Hell to the NO! I am so tired of this crap! Look people it is now up to us! We have a powerful mother and her name is NORML and we must all now support our mother with our time and our money! even if we all just give five dollars a month we could flow thousands of dollars to our mother. HOW MUCH MORE ARE WE GOING TO TOLERATE HOW MUCH LONGER ARE WE GOING TO CONTINUE TO ALLOW THEM TO SCREW US IN THE BUTT W/0 A CONDOM? WHAT IS FIVE DOLLARS A MONTH FROM EACH OF US TO OUR MOTHER TO TELL THE POLITICIANS WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH AND NO MORE! NORML is our mother and as her children we must protect our mothers children our brothers and sisters who have no voice due to sickness and incarceration. No more excuses we must give our money and time and effort and be able to mobilize when leadership from NORML tells us how to proceed at elections when it comes to supporting the politicians that NORML tells us to. NORML has been listening to us for we asked that the conference be on the web for those who cannot attend and NORML has announced that all or most of the conference this year will be on the web for us live and you would think I was going to be there in the flesh b/c I am too excited for this is going to be the most important conference ever and I mean ever!

Rob Van Dam is My Hero! Rob’s among the rare few who is unafraid to voice his valuble opinion on a subject whose time has come. Brass balls and the common sense knowledge & decency to know America’s harsh pot laws are worthless. He has a combination few can muster up. Kudos & God bless you Rob for putting yourself out there for our cause. J. Velasco Brownsville Texas

While I am a huge RVD(and wrestling) fan, billing him as a “World Champion athlete” is a little bit of a stretch. While wrestlers are athletic, they are Sports Entertainers. Real sports aren’t predetermined(not holding that against wrestling, planning it out ensures it will be entertaining). Champion athletes get to that level based on skill, Champions in pro wrestling get their because the company likes them. While RVD is amazingly athletic and a treat to watch in the ring, it’s not like GSP or Sidney Crosby are speaking out for cannabis. But RVD and athletes(like the picture of Michael Phelps) really help disprove the myth that cannabis makes you lazy and useless. Thank you RVD for helping out the cause!

Herb (marijuana) is a Godly creation from the beginning of the world. It is known as the weed of wisdom, angel’s food, the tree of life and even the “Wicked Old Ganja Tree”. Its purpose in creation is as a fiery sacrifice to be offered to our Redeemer during obligations. The political worldwide organizations have framed mischief on it and called it drugs. To show that it is not a dangerous drug, let me inform my readers that it is used as food for mankind, and as a medicinal cure for diverse diseases. Ganja is not for commerce; yet because of the oppression of the people, it was raised up as the only liberator of the people, and the only peacemaker among the entire generation. Ganja is the sacramental rights of every man worldwide and any law against it is only the organized conspiracy of the United Nations and the political governments who assist in maintaining this conspiracy.

Other ancient Indian names for marijuana were “sacred grass”, “hero leaved”, “joy”, “rejoicer”, “desired in the three worlds”‘ “gods’ food”, “fountain of pleasures”‘ and “Shiva’s plant”.

Early Indian legends maintained that the angel of mankind lived in the leaves of the marijuana plant. It was so sacred that it was reputed to deter evil and cleanse its user of sin. In Hindu mythology hemp is a holy plant given to man for the “welfare of mankind” and is considered to be one of the divine nectars able to give man anything from good health, to long life, to visions of the gods. Nectar is defined as the fabled drink of the gods.
